Daughter txt me earlier, “You should surprise me for my 16th bday by giving me the Corvette.”

I don’t think so!

Could be worse.
She could have asked for the truck.

I thought it was an accepted practice to inherit the place you were conceived in.

I just came back from a short stint out field. Totally pointless and made unnecessarily extra "green", which lost the initial point of going out there in a relaxed style simply to test systems and SOPs. Widget black every day too - that's when the wet bulb thermometer is over a certain reading which puts it in the "black" zone which is no work because it's TOO FUCKING HOT.

I lost nearly 5kg in 5 days. Could barely eat. Oh well, I was starting to get a spare tyre.

Imagine being jealous of the South in any way shape or form

We made a last minute booking for half term, and are now in Majorca.

It's raining. It was a bit of a gamble but it's still a bit of a bummer. Theres an indoor pool, and the kids were running around outside in the splash park despite the rain, but it's not quite the same. We went to Cyprus last October and got lucky, hot sun all week.

My wife's a bit despondent, but also there's definitely something on her mind that means she's being a bit... distant.
I'm kind of worried, have been for weeks really and want to know what's up, but on the other hand I don't want to start something while we're in a hotel for a week.

The left in America are actually getting..scary. The slide into intolerance is growing. You can definitely watch it...take a side they dont believe..tell them they are wrong.its wild.

Now a certain group took out a site with names and addresses of people who donated to trump...to “protest” outside their houses..
I’m not posting links.
Now that this information is in the wild...who’s to know how they won’t act upon in the future.

I would think this is a time of a leader of that party to banhammer this ideology as the internet is a vast information sharing resource and in no way is this particular methodology healthy.

(I donated to Trumps campaign in response to this measure out of pure spite, bring it. Better me than some family if some crazy person shows up)

Overall made me a little sad on the overall implications ( the long collapse indeed.prep!)

[Aptorian]

Yeah, meanwhile the right has fucking nazies walking in the streets, militias vowing to take back America if the orange prince is impeached, religious bigots persecuting gay people and people who get abortions... But the left are pretty scary because some random group or incident got brought up on Breitbart or what ever cesspool you get your opinions from.

Somebody should probably reopen the US politics thread.

[Slow Ben]

You mean someone posted a list of peoples names that was already publicly available information!


THE HORRORRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not if this is any example of the level of discourse that will be taking place there.

@ Slowben..it’s irresponsible in this case they label them as racists and tell strangers to go essentially harass people. This could grow violent easily. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal..imagine if some nutball group released women who visited abortion clinics from pulling there debit statements and posted this online. This information is technically public knowledge if you pull it..is terrible in scope.

@ apt You can definitely take this to PM Apt..but there are no “nazis” , there are no militias and this type of stuff is drivel the main stream media has been pushing for a story....for some time now. This is all make believe stuff...no vast ideology is being propagated that focuses on these two things at *all*.This is something the modern left has been running with just like Russian Gate. It’s fake...no mass American Nazis ...no mass militias running about. Everyone here just wants to be happy and successful you know? To enjoy our friends family and neighbors and even total strangers.

Just remember this is all make believe stuff. No vast nazi group, no mass militias...

@ Worry: All my links come from solid sources, they may have information that members don’t want to hear, but it should be explored with civil and intelligent conversation.

Over the last couples years I usually go to *media bias fact check* and try to only grab centralist articles...though no fact checker is perfect. I do admit some tongue in cheek stuff as everybody is so serious here at times. Levity is a good thing too. Sometimes people are on some eye rolling tangents

[Nicodimas]

Sidebar was toots thinking it would be oh wow Nico that’s like incel level behavior!!!

( you can always PM the menace of the right wing and how they are Nazis , Russian Agents , Milltia centric , ultra conservatives !! It’s really interesting how this is all tied together .. I mean Russia, Nazi and Ultra religious wackos that all form together as a militia .. now that’s some twisted ideology!! Pm me links. Fascinating)
